Kids’ Flower Crafts
Bright Button Flowers
By: Heidi Borchers
Use old buttons to create these Bright Button
Flowers. Crafts made from recycled items are
a fun and cheap way to go green.
Materials:
Buttons - 5 Assorted sizes & colors
(mine are from Blumenthal Lansing
Buttons)
Wooden skewer sticks (stems)
Embroidery floss - approximately 10‖
for each flower
Glue (I‘ve used Aleene‘s Tacky Glue)
Fabric (tear into strips approximately
5/8‖ wide x 18‖ long) for covering
wood skewer
Ribbon (for stem) 1/2‖ x 10‖
Instructions:
1. Snip a small cut 5/8‖ from the edge of fabric with scissors.
2. Tear into strip.

3. Gather your wooden skewers and fabric strips.
4. To wrap the fabric onto the wooden skewer, place small amount of glue
onto the end of the skewer.
5. Place about 1/2‖ of the end of the fabric strip into the glue.
6. Bend fabric over and twist the skewer as you wrap the fabric.

7. Place glue onto the last 1‖ of strip and continue to wrap to end of fabric.
8. Place a small amount of glue on each end of the embroidery floss and twist
end with fingers. Let glue dry. When
glue is dried, the dried glue on the end
of the floss will be the ‗needle‘ to go
through the buttons holes.
9. Stack the buttons, with the smallest on top. Put the embroidery floss
‘needle‘ through hole in top of
smallest button, continue to push floss
end through hole in each button.
10. When the floss end comes out the back of largest button, place the floss
end back into opposite hole.

11. Continue threading floss through each button hole.
12. Turn the buttons over; carefully pull the floss ‗loop‘ up, so that the fabric
covered skewer can be inserted under
floss. Place glue onto button, and
place wooden skewer into glue and
under embroidery loop.
13. Carefully turn button flower over, and pull the embroidery floss tight and tie
into knot. Cut off excess floss leaving
approximately 1/4 - 3/8" tails on
floss.
14. Tie ribbon bow on skewer.
